STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A high temperature of 27 is predicted for Wednesday as light snow flurries are expected to end during the morning rush.

With less than an inch of accumulation on the ground, Hylan Boulevard and the other main Island roads that drivers use for their morning commutes are cleared to the blacktop and traffic is moving at the usual speeds. Even less traveled roads such as Martling Avenue were cleared down to the blacktop as early at 5:30 a.m.

The temperature is 14 degrees but it feels like 1 degree with gradual warming expected. The sun is expected to peek out from time to time from behind clouds, according to AccuWeather.com.

Service on public transit is reported to be on or close to schedule. Alternate side parking is suspended due to snow removal, but meters must be paid. Garbage and recycling are being collected as usual. Pick-ups that were missed on Tuesday because of preparation for the storm are being done on Wednesday, according to the Sanitation Department.

Temperatures are expected to rise into the 30s on Thursday and Friday and crest into the 40s on Saturday. Snow is expected to stay away until at least Friday, where there is only a slight chance of flurries, according to the National Weather Service.
